Easy and Creamy Sopas Recipe

Sopas or chicken macaroni soup is a Filipino dish usually eaten during rainy days. We thought it will be raining today like yesterday but the sun shone so brightly.

Today, as promised, I will be sharing with you my super easy and creamy sopas recipe. This dish is one of my children’s favorites. They were very excited when they knew that I will be cooking this.

I mentioned a while ago that this is a macaroni soup however, we used spaghetti pasta instead. Spaghetti pasta do not absorb the soup much and so it can be eaten practically the whole day.

Here is my own easy and creamy sopas recipe.

1 chicken breasts boneless

1 piece onion (chopped)

6 gloves of garlic (minced)
